As someone who messes around in the arena semi-frequently, I see it happen a lot where if I end up in a match with a real person, they skip the battle almost immediately. I'd like to make a friendly suggestion and say, if you're trying to get good at the arena, consider sticking around to watch the fight! It's a little slow, but it's super helpful to see how the different combatants and their abilities stack up against each other, and to watch how the different levels of affinities work in practice and figure out which one you prefer to focus on. Plus, it's pretty satisfying to hit that golden combo and watch your little guys win.

It is especially important since there seem to be quite a bugs in combat, and they can go unnoticed if you don't see the battles.

(For examples, since the recent patch notes, all debuffs actually disappear after 1 turn, even when they are supposed to last anywhere between 2 to 5 turns)

How can you tell if someone dips early?

Sadly people complained about the 1 ticket at last place thing so the devs reverted that. IDK why it was such a big deal to folks, the arena is boring and unfair AF. No wonder people don't want to play.

It also has it's fair share of bugs RN. Ignore poison and bleed and stuff when making your teams, the effects expire instantly and don't last like the tooltips say.

Thank you so much for letting us know about bleeds and poisons still being bugged too, Coop.
